Below we illustrate the performance of our estimator in small samples. As basis for the simulation we take the dataset from [1]} which is available on the website of the journal (on https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abb6936 in the supplementary material section). We begin with an illustration of our methodology with synthetic data in Section REF  followed by a brief analysis of the above dataset in Section REF . The R-code which is used for both parts is available on github (https://github.com/akreiss/SemiParametric-Laguerre.git).
